The 36th AIAA Fluid Dynamics Conference includes papers covering all aspects of fluid dynamics, particularly those relevant to aerospace applications. Topics range from basic research and development to applied and advanced technology, including novel experimental and computational observations, interdisciplinary papers that bridge theoretical, experimental, and numerical approaches, and papers that provide innovative concepts and analyses, especially new insight into flow physics. More than 30 sessions are planned that include areas in vortex dynamics, low and high speed flows, boundary layers, instability, transition, and turbulence. The conference is collocated with several other conferences to enable close synergism and interaction between a broad range of research disciplines in fluid dynamics and several joint sessions on topics of broad interest have been arranged. These joint sessions include, in particular, a group of 4 special sessions associated with a current Fluid Dynamics Tech Committee Discussion Group on Emerging Experiments. This Discussion Group’s main goal is to provide a bridge between theoretical, computational, and experimental work by recommending, after input from all three constituents, emerging experiments with a primary focus on unsteady 3D flows. Three of these sessions will be jointly sponsored with the Applied Aero and AMT/GT meetings. Two of these three sessions will focus on “CFD for the Experimentalist” and “Experiments for the CFD Person.” The third jointly sponsored session with the Applied Aero and AMT/GT meetings will be an invited session entitled “Properly Identifying Initial and Boundary Conditions for Complex Unsteady 3D Flows: Focus on Unsteady RANS and LES.” The invited speakers will consists of a mix of experimentalists, theoreticians, and computationalists. The fourth session (invited), which will be jointly sponsored with the Flow Control meeting, is entitled “Toward Feedback Flow Control: Issues and Methods.” Here again the invited speakers will be a mix of experimentalists, theoreticians, and computationalists.

The 25th AIAA Aerodynamic Measurement Technology and Ground Testing Conference (AMT/GT) will contain papers and presentations covering ground testing facilities and the measurement technologies employed and being developed for these facilities. The theme for this conference is the “Application of Multi-Disciplinary Technology to Achieving Advances in Measurement and Testing Capability to Support Development of Aerospace Vehicles.” In support of this theme, several sessions are being jointly sponsored by the AMT/GT conference and the Flow Control, Fluids, and Applied Aerodynamics conferences. Among the sessions appearing at the conference will be velocity measurements, surface measurements, new and emerging test technologies, application of instrumentation to fluid measurements, analysis of large data sets, spectroscopic techniques, and sensors for flow control. Additional sessions include facility development and test techniques in subsonic, transonic, supersonic, hypersonic, and arc-jet testing. Sessions on balance calibration advancement and issues of ground test to flight are also planned. Special sessions on JSF ground test experiences and three joint sessions on discussing the needs and capabilities of computationalists directed at experimentalists, and on the capabilities of experimentalists targeted at computationalists will also appear.

The 9th AIAA/ASME Heat Transfer and Thermophysics Conference includes papers covering all aspects of heat transfer and thermophysics; relevance is given to aerospace applications with respect to AIAA papers, but is not limited to this topic area. Topics range from basic research and development to applied and advanced technology, including novel experimental and computational observations, interdisciplinary papers that bridge theoretical, experimental approaches and papers that provide innovative concepts and analyses. More than 50 sessions and 300 papers are planned that include areas in aerothermal design, ablation, high speed flows, boiling and condensation, conduction and convection heat transfer, heat pipes, radiation heat transfer, microscale/nanoscale heat transfer, measurements of thermophysical properties, and thermal control of spacecrafts. The conference is collocated with the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) to enable close synergism and interaction between a broad range of research disciplines in heat transfer, aerospace and aerothermodynamics topics and their applications. A special session is planned that will deal with NASA’s technical challenges in their return flight mission in 2005, and, moreover, panel discussion groups are also planned that will be all pertinent to heat transfer and aerospace related issues. Invited speakers will consist of a mix of experimentalists and theoreticians. An invited presentation by the recipient of the Thermophysics Award is planned for the conference.
